I pinched a nerve about 8 months ago. I had and have had no pain besides the original event. After chiropractor, physical therapy etc I still am not fixed. I walk wobbley, I drive, I get around without help. But I am still invalid. My nerve dr. said that my nerves work fine and that a pinched nerve is the same damage as electrical shock. Dr. said I will heal but it takes a long time. Aspirin does more than anything else. I take about 6 24 hours. The more I take the better I get. Any high speed suggestions?

My dentist is removing my 2nd Molar tooth(left side). I'm apprehensive about having it out because it would leave a gap. I have an impacted wisdom tooth next to it and he says it would give it space to grow. I doubt my wisdom tooth would grow at the age of 30, it's already somewhat out and has a gap next to it where food lodges hence the rotting of the 2nd molar. After the 2nd molar is out even if the wisdom tooth grows out would there not be another space beside the first molar, hence the same problem? Should I have it out, it's partially rotted away on the side, but the rest seems okay, is there nothing else I can do to keep it?

I started this diet on Saturday and in 4 days, I've lost 3.5 lbs. Sounds great but the food is kind of hard to take. I'm not a picky person when it comes to food which is why I'm overweight, but when you have to add water to your powdered eggs, it's tough. I honestly can't see myself doing this diet for months at a time to lose the weight I need to lose. Can anyone offer advice on this for me??

I eat way to much mcdonald's and high fat content foods. I have a fast metabolism so I never gain weight, I just need to protect my arteries from getting clogged. I hate all vegetables, so it's hard to find healthy snacks. I eat tons of snacks, but they are not good for me.I am 16 and only work part time. So I don't have much money to buy the good organic products. Any ideas for snacks???

My fiance has a severe headache on the left side of his head and pain behind his left nasal passage. It really hurts to bend over and/or cough. I thought it might have been allergy/sinus but he said the medicine isnt working. Ive told him to go to the doctor since im not one but he refuses. Any idea's of what this could be and what should he do.

thanks!!!!!

I know nothing about Diabetes. I've developed problems with my Pancreas in that I had 3 attacks of Pancreatitis last year and doc asked me to eat low fat and no alcohol for the rest of my life.
Am I at risk for diabetes, what are the signs?

Hi All!!

As a child I suffered with pains in my arms and legs. The doctor told my mum that I had 'growing pains' and that it was nothing to worry about and that they would stop as I got older.

Thing is.....I am now 30 and I still get them! I'm obviously not still growing or I'd be about 20 feet tall!

The pain is not sharp, stabbing or cramp like, it's more like a really deep painful ache. It starts slowly and gets stronger over time. If I don't take pain killers I can end up in tears and it can take hours to die off. It seems to centre around my joints (ankle/knee/elbow/wrist) but you can feel it up and down the limb. To put it simply......it feels like my bones hurt. But there is no swelling or discolouration.

Does anyone else have anything like this?

I'm just a teen, and for the past few weeks, on and off I've been experiencing nausea... it's very strange. I feel a bit warm, but I never throw up. When we went to the doc's for my brother's leg, I asked the doc about it and she said that if it's been going on that long it's probably nothing.
My ma says it might be hormones...
I don't know... any suggestions?
Anyone have the same problem?
